Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique reverse design, depicting a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II, which was specifically commissioned for this coin by the Guernsey Government. The design is the work of sculptor and engraver, Stephen Taylor, and it is the first time that a coin has been issued with this particular portrait of the Queen. This makes the coin a distinctive and special collector's item for those interested in numismatics and the legacy of Queen Elizabeth II.
